Fortnite is the most played Battle Royale game played currently and it is arriving on Android next week on August 9 with the launch of Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

One more important thing is Samsung has struck an exclusivity deal with Epic Games as Fortnite will be Samsung exclusive for a month and then other device owners can take part in massive killing orgies.

Another crucial aspect of Fortnite release on Android is it will not be found on Play Store as they charge 30% of microtransactions and will be available for direct download via Epic Games website.

So get ready to order your Galaxy Note 9 in case you cannot wait a long month for it to arrive on your droids.

Nokia has been fast in releasing updates and security patches and they shocked everyone when they jumped all their handsets except Nokia 2 to Android One platform.

The latest update for Nokia 8 Sirroco weighs in at 82.5MB and is rolling out for Indian users, while the Nokia 2 update is 88MB which is rolling out in India alongside the US.

Going by the size it is safe to assume it contains security patches for May and some minor bug fixes and some of you may receive the update at a later time as all updates are rolled out in batches.

Fortnite has been the game of the year with its popularity across platforms due to its free to play nature and after iOS Fortnite is coming to Android this June.

Epic Games has officially confirmed the game will be available before August end. Voice chat, mute chat, custom HUD, a stats tracking feature and ability to run game with low textures for those midrange devices will make sure Fortnite is mobile ready.

Also, changes will be made to rerun games quickly so as to have lower loading times, reduction in install size, improvement in stability and smooth game playback.

As the game is free to play expect it to grow drastically once it launches on Android this summer.

OnePlus has been growing since its launch and one of the keys to their success in India. They have developed a cult following and it isn’t because their phone has something unique but because it is a decent value for money.

OnePlus 6 checks all the boxes of a 2018 flagship and then some. With 6.28″ AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and 19:9 aspect ratio with a notch up top, it surely matches to modern standards.

On the outside, it looks mostly like a Oneplus 5T yet refined with camera complementing symmetry of the phone which now sits in the center and below it is a fingerprint sensor just like one in Galaxy S9 family.

The battery inside is 3330 mAh with Dash Charging and it runs on Android 8.1 Oreo with Hydrogen OS branding and those eager to jump to next Android update can test the developer beta officially.

Oneplus 6 is priced at ₹34,999 in India for 6GB RAM and 64GB ROM variant and will go on sale on 22nd May exclusively at Amazon.in and an Avengers Limited edition OnePlus 6 will cost ₹44,999 which comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage and standard 8GB+128GB variant will cost ₹39,999.

The Indian market was ruled by Nokia in the early days, then came Samsung and now Xiaomi is on the throne, but not for long as the competition is fierce and rivals are ready to counter every move.

While there is no competition to Redmi Note 5 Pro currently Oppo Realme 1 is one fine piece which can burn Redmi 5 and Redmi Note 5 to the ground.

It runs on Android 8.1 based Color OS 5.0 which comes with several AI based features to help with processing and conserve battery. Also, native Project Treble support means faster Android updates and all this goodness costs just ₹8990. One more thing it has all three ports, so Dual SIM with microSD won’t be a problem.

For those with higher aspiration, it also comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage and will cost ₹13990 and 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM variant will cost about ₹10,990.

Oppo Realme 1 comes in Silver, Red and Black color variants and initially only Black and Red version will be available on 25th May 2018 on Amazon India exclusively.

Samsung is losing grip on the market with new and better smartphones from Chinese vendors and to tackle the issue they are back with another big launch.

Samsung Galaxy J6 which will come in two variants. One will feature 3GB RAM and 32GB storage and run on Android Oreo out of the box will be priced at Rs 13990 while the 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM variant will cost Rs 16490.

Recently launched Galaxy J7 Duo has also received a Rs 1000 price cut and will also come with a PAYTM offer after the launch of J6 series.

Samsung is also trying to get a PAYTM cashback scheme on J6 and if there is even a Rs 1000 cashback on Galaxy J6 we can see it becoming a champion device as it features SuperAMOLED 5.6″ 18.5:9 display and comes with selfie flash and Samsung strong retail presence.

Samsung will also launch three other devices next month named Galaxy J4, Galaxy A6, and Galaxy A6+. All of them will come with infinity display and J4 will be priced below 10000 while A6 will cost around Rs 21000 and A6+ will cost Rs 26000.

Nokia 7 Plus has been launched in India and now HMD has confirmed that it will receive dual VoLTE support soon.

Thanks Sid for the awesome review and don't worry, 2nd sim will support LTE shortly!

Dual VoLTE will let users use true dual 4G on dual sim simultaneously. This feature was much needed as Airtel and Idea are also jumping ship to VoLTE.
